I made this logo in an attempt to show the security of Quark. The colors represent the individual quarks making up a proton, and the quarks are on a lock that is on top of the coin representing that quarks security works down to the elementary level. I tried to keep the look of the original logo in some respects so that is still recognizable as Quark. Let me know if you need anything, I had to post here because I cannot connect to the quarktalk thread.

This is my submission, I've been unable to access the Quarktalk forum for a few days now. I keep getting SQL errors. I'll keep trying.

I have created a simple logo that inspires security and integrity. The design consists of a shield with an oblique line running through it to form a "Q". I think this design meets the criteria for a currency symbol. It is simple enough to be printed clearly and distinctively as a typeface. It is simple enough that it can be written easily and quickly by hand. It captures the essential strengths of the Quarkcoin currency and presents them with a clean, confident and powerful new identity.

All my designs are vector based so they will look clean and clear at any scale.

I hope you like my work and look favourably on my submission.

I hope you like my work. I would appreciate any feedback and comments in the little time that is left before the deadline.

I think something similar to a rubix cube encompasses the most commercially relatable idea of what encryption is(and the squares in it formed "Q"). I custom made the font to go along with it. Clean, simple, and easy to understand.Quark Address: Qb62sX3J77RV7zvVpsQd3NZAdGyUCcHQ8p

This is what I came up with. I am not a designer and so it might be a little rough around the edges, but I still thought the idea had some merit. If selected, I would be happy to donate most or all of the bounty to someone who would be able to make it a workable design (because this is as far as my design abilities extend )

Anyway, when creating the design, my three main goals were to make something simple & recognizable, to include the quark element of the original design, and to present it as a currency. I think it turned out alright. Hope you all enjoy!

*Also, I have been having some problems connecting to the quark forums recently like several others have already mentioned. Hopefully posting in this thread will suffice for the time being.
